Midweek Update May 28 on the Best of Mitchell with Josh Moody and Steve Van Genderen
May 27—MITCHELL — The Best of Mitchell results are here!
Hear from Josh Moody and Steve Van Genderen, owners of Dakota Physical Therapy and True Fitness in Mitchell, whose businesses won multiple categories in Best of Mitchell. The publication is live as of Wednesday, May 28 and will be online and inserted in the printed edition of the Mitchell Republic.
More than 15,000 votes were cast in the contest. So what's made DPT and True Fitness successful?
"We've invested in the community," Van Genderen said. "And the community does just an outstanding job supporting us. We're a small business in a little bit of a bigger town. When you get into the market we're in, we compete against larger companies. And it's just really good that Mitchell continues to support small businesses."
Moody and Van Genderen are both positive on Mitchell's future and its progress.
"From the bike trails around the lake that are constantly being improved and maintained by an amazing group, the lake project, the Corn Palace potential, the soybean plant, little businesses that are gradually turning into bigger just like our story," Moody said. "Who's the next story for Mitchell? I hope there's a bunch of them, and we're excited to see their progress and how we can maybe interact with those folks and how we can keep growing Mitchell."
